Hammer-in at Gene Bland's Backwoods Blacksmith Shop | HAMMER-INS! | Forum

Hey Guys, We'll be having a hammer-in at Gene Bland's shop Saturday, March 23rd, from 9:00 to 5:00.. We don't have a demonstrator lined up, we'll just be getting together to play in the fire and plan some more hammer-ins. We'll also be planning for the "Blacksmith Wars" at Mount Hood this August. We are not trying to compete with or shun you fella's up north, just trying to get more people involved in blacksmithing. There are a lot of folks down here who don't want to drive for 3 plus hours to get to Longview.
Backwood's Blacksmith shop is located 1/2 way between Sutherlin and Elkton on Highway 138 in kinda West Southern Oregon. The address is 535 Brad Road, Oakland, Oregon... if you want to google map it.
